    Hey Guys,

    This is my first time using Facebook Ads. I have a service which the target audience is: Authors (and Publishers perhaps). I couldn't find any target "interests" while filling out the Facebook Ads form which was for authors.

    Any tips or suggestions on which interests to pick or anything else in order to ensure I'm targeting published Authors? So far, I just winged it and selected a couple interests of "Writing" and "Literature".

    Thanks!

    Have you heard about Social Lead Freak it's best desktop based software to generate high qualify leads from Facebook. You can extract people from FB groups, events, places, pages, posts with a single click and target these leads with your advertising campaigns.

    Thanks for the tip on the software program but I don't think that method works anymore. Facebook's power editor has changed recently (i think). You used to be able to create a list of fb group UIDs (as shown in the video for the software program you mentioned) and from that list of UIDs in a csv file, simply "create custom audience" and upload the file. Now, there's no option anywhere to upload any file. Unless I'm mistaken.. do you know where I can upload a csv file in facebook ads?

    How did you get the FB IDs extracted and into the csv file? Unless you paid for a program as sandrute suggested (above).

    I am a programmer so i coded my tool.
    But as people said you can go with a paid software. If you know what you are doing you will make your investment back very fast :)
